Heatley wins. Snyder loses, again. Another slap on the wrist for someone who has found celebrity status through playing a game and killing his friend.Dany Heatley pleaded guilty to four of six charges in his vehicular homicide case and was sentenced to a three year probation today and was told he must relay 150 speeches about the dangers of speeding while driving. Oh, and he can't drive unless he is going to get medical help, going to the grocery store, work and attending his speeches. Well. That sounds about the right sort of discipline to give someone who just killed his team mate. Doesn't it? Hardly freakin' likely. What Heatley did was inexcusable. He took someone's life, intentional or not, played the "I'm so sorry" card and got off with nothing but a slap on the wrist. Heatley, even though this traffic-related incident was not intentional, and his long friendship with Snyder- this guy seems to have gotten off pretty damn easy. Snyders family didn't want Heatley to go to jail- but should the family have any say in it? Why do we have a justice system if that system doesn't seem to be working? What Heatley did, in my opinion, was inexcusable- why were his actions pretty much excused? He's still playing hockey, still receiving trophies, still able to drive and be a relatively free man. Here is a question for you: is the knowledge that you killed your friend punishment enough? Posted by Bella at 11:06 PM# 1 Comments: I love getting a rise out of you guys. By
